- a check valve 12 is interposed between the discharge side of the first oil pump 6 and the discharge side of each second oil pump 8 to prevent the flow of oil from the first oil pump 6 to the second oil pump 8 .
- the check valve 12 permits the flow of oil from each second oil pump 8 to the discharge side of the first oil pump 6 . Accordingly, the oil discharged from the first oil pump 6 and the oil discharged from each second oil pump 8 are supplied together to a hydraulic control unit in the transmission.
- a first filter 14 is provided between each second oil pump 8 and the corresponding check valve 12 . Accordingly, it is possible to prevent that foreign matter generated in the case of failure of any one of the second oil pumps 8 may cause damage to the corresponding check valve 12 , the first oil pump 6 , and the hydraulic control unit in the transmission.
- a second filter 16 is provided between the first oil pump 6 and each check valve 12 connected to the corresponding second oil pump 8 . Accordingly, it is possible to prevent that foreign matter generated in the first oil pump 6 and the hydraulic control unit may cause damage to each check valve 12 .
- a third filter 18 is provided between the strainer 4 and each second oil pump 8 . Accordingly, even when foreign matter enters the device in the case of installing parts or repairing the strainer 4 , it is possible to prevent that the foreign matter may cause damage to the first and second oil pumps 6 and 8 and the hydraulic control unit in the transmission.
- FIG. 2 is a side view of a transmission including a second oil pump assembly 20
- FIG. 3 is an enlarged sectional view showing in detail an oil inlet portion and an oil outlet portion of the second oil pump assembly 20 .
- the second oil pump assembly 20 is detachably mounted on a transmission case 2 .
- the second oil pump assembly 20 includes an oil pump base 22 , a second oil pump 8 mounted on the oil pump base 22 , and an electric motor 24 for driving the second oil pump 8 .
- the oil pump base 22 of the second oil pump assembly 20 is detachably fixed to the transmission case 2 by using a plurality of bolts.
- the oil from the strainer 4 is introduced through a tube 26 and a suction pipe 28 into the second oil pump 8 , and the oil discharged from the second oil pump 8 is supplied through a delivery pipe 30 to the hydraulic control unit in the transmission.
- the suction pipe 28 is accommodated in a pipe mounting hole 34 formed on the transmission case 2 and a pipe mounting hole 36 formed on the oil pump base 22 .
- the delivery pipe 30 is accommodated in a pipe mounting hole 38 formed on the transmission case 2 and a pipe mounting hole 40 formed on the oil pump base 22 .
- the delivery pipe 30 has a shoulder portion 32 , through which a large-diameter portion 30 a and a small-diameter portion 30 b are connected with each other.
- the pipe mounting hole 38 has a diameter larger than that of the pipe mounting hole 40 .
- the reason for the formation of the shoulder portion 32 on the delivery pipe 30 is to limit the direction of installation of the check valve 12 composed of a valve seat 42 and a ball 44 to one direction.
- a pin 46 is press-fitted in the delivery pipe 30 to thereby limit the stroke of the ball 44 of the check valve 12 .
- the first filter 14 and the second filter 16 are set at the opposite ends of the delivery pipe 30 .
- the first and second filters 14 and 16 are formed as mesh filters of stainless steel, for example, and they have flanges 14 a and 16 a, respectively.
- the flange 14 a of the first filter 14 is sandwiched between one end of the delivery pipe 30 and the bottom of the pipe mounting hole 40 .
- the flange 16 a of the second filter 16 is sandwiched between the other end of the delivery pipe 30 and the bottom of the pipe mounting hole 38 . Accordingly, the removal of the first and second filters 14 and 16 from the delivery pipe 30 can be prevented.
- the third filter 18 has a flange 18 a, and the flange 18 a is sandwiched between one end of the suction pipe 28 and the bottom of the pipe mounting hole 36 , thereby preventing the removal of the third filter 18 from the suction pipe 28 .
- a pair of O-rings 48 and 50 are provided on the outer circumference of the suction pipe 28 to thereby prevent the leakage of oil flowing in the suction pipe 28 and the suction of the outside air into the suction pipe 28 .
- a pair of O-rings 52 and 54 are provided on the outer circumference of the delivery pipe 30 to thereby prevent the leakage of oil flowing in the delivery pipe 30 .
- an O-ring 56 is provided on the interface between the transmission case 2 and the oil pump base 22 so as to surround the suction pipe 28 and the delivery pipe 30 . Accordingly, even if any one of the O-rings 48 , 50 , 52 , and 54 is damaged to cause the leakage of oil flowing in the suction pipe 28 or the delivery pipe 30 , the leaked oil can be reliably sealed by the O-ring 56 to prevent the oil leakage from the interface between the oil pump base 22 and the transmission case 2 .
- the second oil pump assembly 20 , the suction pipe 28 , and the delivery pipe 30 are removably mounted on the transmission case 2 from the outside of the transmission. Accordingly, even if clogging of the filters 14 , 16 , and 18 or lodging of the check valve 12 occurs, the filters 14 , 16 , and 18 can be easily replaced or the check valve 12 can be easily repaired.
- FIGS. 2 and 3 employs the single second oil pump assembly 20 including the electric motor 24
- the present invention is not limited to this configuration, but a plurality of second oil pump assemblies may be provided as shown in FIG. 1 . In this case, there is a merit such that even if any one of the second oil pump assemblies fails, the remaining second pump assembly or assemblies can be used instead.
